Trump Goes on Angry AM Tweetstorm: When Will People Thank Me For ‘Firing James Comey?’

President Donald Trump took to Twitter yet again to voice his grievances against special counsel Robert Mueller and the “13 Angry Democrats” investigating Russian election tampering, fellow Republican Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and everyone who hasn’t thanked him for firing ex-FBI Director James Comey.

Trump, whose attacks on Mueller and the Democrats come after the Senate Intelligence Committee stated last month that Russia tampered in the 2016 election “for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton,” said it was “ironic” that Democratic lawmakers were attacking him in a “witch hunt” while he attempts to make deals with Canada and North Korea.

As for his tweet against Flake, hilarity ensued after Japan’s prime minister, whom the president tweeted about this morning as well, accidentally quote tweeted Trump’s attack against the Arizona senator when he meant to tweet about the scheduled meeting between the two heads of state.

Shinzo Abe’s social media team quickly deleted the post, but the tweet had already been spread throughout Twitter.

Amid his tweetstorm, Trump also called for Mueller and his team to investigate the Obama administration issuing a waiver aimed at letting Iran use an American bank to route money through. Per the AP, this waiver, which was issued in 2016, was found by Congressional Republicans looking into the details of Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. The waiver would have given Iran access to frozen funds in an Omani bank by switching it to US currency and then converting it to Euros.

The cherry on top of Trump’s morning Twitter rant was a tweet asking for people to start saying, “thank you, Mr. President, for firing James Comey” — an odd request, given that part of Mueller’s investigation into the president and his allies revolves around the circumstances in which he fired the former FBI director.

Read all of Trump’s craziest tweets from this morning below:

The Obama Administration is now accused of trying to give Iran secret access to the financial system of the United States. This is totally illegal. Perhaps we could get the 13 Angry Democrats to divert some of their energy to this “matter” (as Comey would call it). Investigate!

Isn’t it Ironic? Getting ready to go to the G-7 in Canada to fight for our country on Trade (we have the worst trade deals ever made), then off to Singapore to meet with North Korea & the Nuclear Problem…But back home we still have the 13 Angry Democrats pushing the Witch Hunt!

Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law Professor: “It all proves that we never needed a Special Counsel….All of this could have been done by the Justice Dept. Don’t need a multi-million dollar group of people with a target on someone’s back. Not the way Justice should operate.” So true!

When and where will all of the many conflicts of interest be listed by the 13 Angry Democrats (plus) working on the Witch Hunt Hoax. There has never been a group of people on a case so biased or conflicted. It is all a Democrat Excuse for LOSING the Election. Where is the server?

How could Jeff Flake, who is setting record low polling numbers in Arizona and was therefore humiliatingly forced out of his own Senate seat without even a fight (and who doesn’t have a clue), think about running for office, even a lower one, again? Let’s face it, he’s a Flake!

Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a “plea deal” to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!

When will people start saying, “thank you, Mr. President, for firing James Comey?”
